    How does one determine that?

    EDIT: Never mind. You meant a circulation-driven Bell Curve of sorts, no?

    Yes. I mean it is totally subjective and not a perfect science. But we have to assume a 200,000 has more available than a 50,000 - maybe not but we're not anything official. This is just a way to get a solid opinion from people I know who know the business.

    I'm for it, as long as the 2-3 people doing the judging give comments on ALL sections, not just the top three.

    Forget it, bad idea on my part. I'm not trying to create a bunch of extra work for people. Those who get the sections can of course share thoughts as they wish.

    How many of these are college football only? I can tell you one on the list is all-encompassing: high school, college and pro.

    Our section at The News is all college. We also do a 4-page high school wrap, which coincidentally ran today. No NFL preview.

    We used to do them all together, with a page or two of NFL content, but eventually decided this served our needs best.

    We've got a 24-page prep tab running tomorrow (looks suh-weet), and another 24-page college tab for next week. All without a sports editor. Good times.
